ANC Youth League supporters at the University of Venda caused a spectacle after holding a mock funeral of their opponents the EFF after they claimed eight of the 13 seats in the student representative council (SRC) last week.

This was despite the EFF having won the majority of university elections across the country.

Former EFF Student Command president Mashudu Ntulane, who was one of the chief organisers, said the mock funeral was "filled with tears and drama".

It even had mourners, including a female student wrapped up in a blanket as the grieving widow.
